    Long John Silver’s Accident Injury Attorney

    Long John Silver's Accident Injury Attorney sue liability lawyer
    Long John Silver’s is a popular chain of fast food restaurants that specialize in seafood. The company has over 600 locations throughout the U.S. and Singapore, and they are a fixture in many shopping mall food courts. Most people don’t associate Long John Silver’s with serious injuries, but this is a very common occurrence at fast food places. Sadly, the vast majority of accidents can be traced to an act of negligence by the restaurant’s employees, or by the company itself.

    If you’ve been injured at a Long John Silver’s restaurant, you may be entitled to compensation for your physical and mental injuries. However, these places are very good at denying claims or tricking victims into accepting much less than what they deserve. To protect yourself from these tactics, contact us and speak with a Long John Silver’s accident injury attorney if you’ve been injured from any of these accidents:

    • Auto accident in the parking lot
    • Drive through accidents
    • Slip and fall
    • Trip and fall
    • Accidents in bathrooms
    • Burn accidents
    • Injuries from broken chairs and tables
    • Assault and battery
    • Sexual assault
    • Workplace injury claims

    Common Injuries from an Accident at Long John Silver’s

    Restaurant owners and employees owe their customers a duty of care, meaning they must take all reasonable measures to prevent injuries to others or creating a situation that can lead to an accident. In addition, they must take care of any hazards on the property, such as wet floors, leaking appliances, and worn out of missing traffic signs. Otherwise, an accident on the property is more than likely, which can lead to injuries, such as:

    • Deep cuts and abrasions
    • Tearing of the tendons, muscles, and ligaments
    • Joint dislocation
    • Concussion / traumatic brain injury
    • Broken bones in the hands, feet, arms, and legs
    • Hip fracture or broken pelvis
    • Tailbone fracture
    • Shattered kneecap
    • Broken ribs
    • Internal organ damage
    • Dislocated jaw / missing or broken teeth
    • Permanent scarring (common with burn injuries)
    • Neck and back injuries – spinal cord damage, whiplash
    • Loss of function (nerve damage)
    • Chronic pain
    • Psychological damage – insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, etc.

    Make sure to file an accident report with the manager and ask for a copy before you leave the restaurant. You will also need medical records to establish the exact injuries you’ve sustained from the accident, so please go to a hospital as soon as possible. These two actions will provide the foundation for a lawsuit against Long John Silver’s. Seeking legal advice is the final step in this process, which we can provide you with as soon as you contact our office.

    Is Long John Silver’s Responsible for my Accident?

    To pursue a personal injury claim, you will need to prove that someone else was negligent in their duty of care to you, and as a result, you sustained one or more compensable injuries. Liability by a restaurant is based on the law of premises liability, which requires business owners to ensure the safety of their property at all times. If there was a dangerous condition at a Long John Silver’s that can be tied to your accident, you may have grounds to sue the company based on their negligence.

    Misconduct by a fast food and drive through restaurant can take place in many ways, but there’s no denying the number of hazards that may be present on the premises of a Long John Silver’s. Slip and fall accidents, for example, can occur from a restaurant’s failure to clean up spills and dropped food, or not taking care of snow and ice in the parking areas. The drive through is another common site for accidents, especially burn injuries from hot drinks and food. If the employee handing you the food was careless or failed to follow company protocols (failing to secure the lid of your drink cup, for example), you can sue the restaurant since employers are liable for the conduct of their employees during the course of their work duties.

    Liability for a fast food accident is not always so easy to figure out. In addition, proving that another party was negligent and that this act of negligence is directly responsible for your injuries can be extremely challenging. Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience you need to succeed in an accident injury lawsuit against Long John Silver’s. Contact us right away to schedule a free case evaluation.

    Workplace Accidents at Long John Silver’s

    Injuries among workers at fast food restaurants are very common due to the hectic pace, not to mention the equipment they have to work with, such as fryers, griddles, and hot drink dispensers. If you are a Long John Silver’s employee that was injured at work, you have the right to monetary benefits through a workers’ compensation claim. Make sure to report your injuries to your supervisor immediately, which will initiate the claims process with your employer’s workers’ comp insurance provider.

    Since these are benefits guaranteed by the state, it should be easy to get approved for compensation if you’ve sustained a workplace injury. However, this is not always the case, as we can tell you from the many claimants we’ve represented over the years. Even if your claim is approved, you may struggle to obtain the full range of payments or medical treatments you are entitled to. The workplace injury lawyers of Normandie are here to assist you with any issues you are having, so don’t hesitate to call us if you were injured on the job at a Long John Silver’s location.

    Value of an Accident Injury Settlement from Long John Silver’s

    We understand how important it is to have a sense of how much you can recover as an accident victim. Unfortunately, this is not a question we can answer without considering the extent of your injuries and how they’ve impacted your life. Primarily, we will need to determine the economic and non-economic damages you are eligible to receive. These may include the cost of medical treatment, wages you’ve lost from missed time at work, your level of pain and suffering, long-term emotional distress, and damage to your personal belongings. When you take all that into account, the value of a restaurant injury case may fall between $25,000 and $2.5 million, though some cases are worth less or considerably more.

    As these are only estimates, we recommend that you schedule a free case review if you’re interested in learning what your lawsuit is worth.

    Length of Time to Settle Your Case

    Our goal is to settle all accident claims within 6 months through private negotiations with the insurance company. However, there is no way to predict all the complications that can add to this timeline. Some of these complications are unexpected legal issues, but others are a direct result of the other party’s unwillingness to admit fault or make a fair settlement offer. As a result, achieving the settlement you deserve can take one or more years, depending on whether a lawsuit is necessary.

    How Long do I have to Sue Long John Silver’s?

    The amount of time to seek monetary damages from a restaurant depends on the type of claim you are filing. The deadline is two years from the day of your accident in most cases, but the statute of limitations is shorter for workplace injury claims. For example, you must file an incident report with your employer within 30 days and file a workers’ compensation claim within one year from the accident date. Keep in mind that you can lose the right to sue if you are past the statute of limitations, as extensions are rarely granted by the courts. To verify the correct filing deadline for your claim, call us anytime to speak with one of our attorneys.

Though we will make recommendations to help you get your case back on track, following through on our advice is completely up to you.
